OOP Inheritance, Oh Yeah

To get back into the swing of things after our <insert sarcasm here> warm and refreshing "Spring Break" </insert sarcasm here>, we will look at Chapter Eleven's coverage of Inheritance. No, this is not the kind of, grandma left me all her money and knitting needles, Inheritance, rather, it would be the shove your head back into the world of programming, Inheritance. 

So without further ado, the assignment to be completed in conjunction with today's discussions will be Exercises 11.4, and 11.5 on page 527, in which you will write to me about all of the reasons to use Inheritance (11.4), and also create a UML class diagram (11.5).

Both exercises are due in class next Thursday, March 10, 2011. Please submit both of them via Blackboard as a zipped file.
